KeepTruckin is proud to be a Forbes Cloud 100 company, a 2020 Career-Launching Company by Wealthfront and named a Forbes Best Startup Employer 2020.

About the Role:

We’re seeking a Senior Manager or Director of Product Design to head our product design function. You will champion customer needs and balance them with business objectives, innovation initiatives, and platform thinking.

  • Understand customer and business problems through research and data
  • Own design problems end to end, from initial concept through execution and beyond
  • Build alignment and articulate vision through strong storytelling and presentations skills
  • Become a key thought partner to your counterparts in product, engineering, and ops
  • Evangelize best practices, design thinking, and cross-functional collaboration

What We're Looking For:

  • 8+ years of experience in Product, UX, Interaction and Interface design
  • Experience leading complex web and mobile projects with a cross-functional team
  • Track record of managing and growing high performing teams
  • A design portfolio that showcases proficient design skills, product thinking, and problem-solving
  • Familiarity with creating and evolving design systems and frameworks
  • Demonstrate excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills
  • Ability to be comfortable with, and navigate an industry undergoing disruption
  • Background building complex B2B or SAAS platforms preferred

An Insider's view of Motive

What are some social events your company does?

We recently celebrated International Women's Day in the office, where we enjoyed food and drinks, and learned more about why we celebrate this holiday with Motive employees. We also celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting an event with Latinas in Tech in the office. It's so much fun to get together, meet new people, and share our stories.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started on our Customer Success team 3 years ago. When I saw we were hiring internally for the Product team, I knew this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Since I joined the Product team, I’ve been paired with a mentor, attended the Women in Product Conference & have been given so many opportunities to continue learning about Product Mgmt.
